In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Friendly, helpful staff — Multiple guests single out the reception team – one by name – for their warmth and local knowledge. A 24-hour desk means help is available around the clock.
- Spotless rooms and shared spaces — Cleanliness is a recurring compliment, with several reviewers mentioning tidy rooms, bathrooms and communal areas.
- Free and varied breakfast — Breakfast is included in the rate and gets consistent praise for its choice, including pastries, cereals and cheese.

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Basic rooms with limited amenities — Rooms come with just a shower and heating; there's no mention of extra features like TVs or minibars, and some guests found them basic.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:30 to 21:00, which could be an issue for late arrivals. Check-out is between 07:00 and 10:00.
- Potential privacy and towel issues in some dorms — One reviewer mentioned broken shutters reducing privacy in certain rooms, and some towels were not clean or not provided at all.
- No pets allowed — The hostel doesn't accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements for furry companions.
